Dainty Daisies


I found these dainty daisy wildflowers growing on a vacant lot near where my son is building a new home. Since the daisy is my favorite flower, these miniature versions caught my eye.

This website had some interesting information and
referred to these flowers as gools!

The oxeye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum) is a beautiful flower, one that is both loved and hated. It was a plague on pastures and crop fields across Europe. The Scots called the flowers "gools". The farmer with the most gools in their wheat field had to pay an extra tax. Now the gools have invaded this continent from coast to coast.

~ How appropriate as Halloween draws near. The gools are blooming!

Lovely capture of these daisies. Good detail and focus.
